Still Kickin

So we are still here and alive! I am on the brink of SPRING BREAK! I might be more excited than the kids. The idea of not fighting over homework, packing lunches and negotiating outfits to wear to school, has me pretty thrilled! Addy is hiding in the above picture. This was our little fam at the Ward party.  Our Stake changed all the boundries of the wards, and we got moved! I miss that ward so bad, but I am not as busy! No new calling yet! The girls had their Cougar Run to raise money that day, so they were tired. McKenzie ran 9 laps, and Hailey ran 11 laps.

The next picture is the other little creature keeping us busy! My mom brought home a German Shepard puppy, and he is cute! Meet Ruger!

Finally!

So the pictures aren't great, and that sweet bookshelf doesn't belong, but here is the new paint in our room! I was so excited to feel like I am not living in a dorm anymore. The room hadn't been painted in like 13 yrs! It was time. I love it, it feels so fresh and clean. I am going to do a bit more decorating like adding in some accent color and drapes when the tax return money gets here!
On an updating note: We are busy, these girls and their playdates, school and energy keep us going. I was called in the Relief Society over Enrichment and Shon is still in scouts, so we are pretty busy.

Confession time . . .

So, I am fully aware that nobody reads these blogs anymore and I am even more aware that I am not a 16 year old girl, but here is my confession to anyone who is reading this. I am utterly obsessed with TVD, you have to be a true fan to even know what that means, but here is why:

I have been watching this show since it started and it just got better and better. It may have something to do with the high action plot lines, or this handsome fellow, Ian Somerhalder.  He is pretty easy on the eyes.

Christmas 2011!!

Just a few pics from Christmas!

We had a great day, can't believe it's over!

Photos!

So, I am in love with Pinterest lately and having it as an app on my iphone is seriously a problem! I may have to delete it because having it at my fingertips all day long is so bad.  But I came across these photography blogs and articles teaching you how to use your camera etc.  I have an okay camera, and I learned I actually have some of these features and was able to play around with the shutter speed etc. It was fun. You may not notice a difference, but I did!  I feel like I got a new camera!

Happy December 1st!!

I can't believe December is already here! I am full on sick right now, and the weather was cold and windy today, just as things should be! I could hardly get out of bed today and get my kids off to school, then I came home, and have no recollection of making Addy pancakes, before her and I climbed into my bed for a small nap! It would have been the perfect day had I not been cold and achy and hacking up my lungs!

So in love with this. . . .  I finally caved and bought the iphone 4 when my cheap phone was dying and I think I may be in love.
